Organic Snowcap Heirloom Beans
$11.95
These distinctive organic heirloom beans have a lovely white "snow cap" sitting atop a cappuccino colored bean about the size of a pinto bean. They are so pretty, they are one of the beans we find ourselves enjoying in the pantry ALMOST as much as in the pot. Grown on organically on a small family farm, these Snowcap Heirloom Beans plump up to become very large beans with a distinctive potato like texture that makes them perfect with tomatoes or simply topped with an Italian salsa verde and paired with wine and a crusty bread.
Not much is known about the history of Snowcap Beans. Some will say they are from Peru (as so many bean varieties are) however most agree that they originated here in America, not Europe or South America, making them rather unique in the bean world. Farmers have experimented with cross pollenating their plants since the dawn of time, trying to create distinctly delicious beans that thrived in their area. Whoever created the snowcap, we raise a glass of California Pinot Noir to you as we enjoy a bowl of these time-honored beauties tossed with roasted tomatoes and topped simply with herbs and olive oil (also from California).
